ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly 1869 handled now 1870 Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking 1871 and proper PEref extensions in external subsets 1872 DTD conditional sections 1873 Validation now correctly handle entities content 1874 change 1875 structures to accommodate DOM 1876 1877 - fix I18N support.
